Hi Brian,
as far as I see, this one:
How not to be
parasitic to the point of necrotrophy?
is easy. No car, no airplanes etc. Less computers too, of course. No
consumerism. And this one:

is simple to: No. "We" cannot. And that's related

I think there is a nature/culture spectrum. If we are to play with words.
Though, it seems to me, when using words and "arguments" one moves
"away" from "nature" and deeper into culture. Some sort of psychotic?,
self-absorbed looping.
I'd rather look for nature in a trance state - stripping
Hi Everyone.
My take away from the last few decades of writing on “Nature” is that it's a
term that can only be understood/useful as a way to define relationships.
Increasingly, it seems like a term that defines relationships in some pretty
destructive, asymmetrical ways. I mean, it always has,

"Or everything is natural in our culture?"
I am currently reading about biomimicry. You probably know a lot about it,
curious to hear your ideas. The concept suggests both a distance between
humans and nature, and a possible rapprochement. To me that's intuitive. I
can't accept the idea
